ANNOUNCING OPERATION “DUST OFF 4:1″

We supported each other in battle, we trusted each other with our lives. It’s now time to support each other in life. Military Network’s Operation Dust Off 4:1 is a buddy system which calls on members of the community, civilians, serving members and veterans to perform one selfless act of compassion.

We invite you to form teams of four with the objective of helping just one veteran, veteran family or family of a member on active duty in need of help, be it a job, training, business, health, family, mentoring or simply a friend; define the need, agree on a plan and timeline and then work together to get your ‘Buddy’ back on track.

Please click this link to note your interest in becoming a team member. If you are a veteran or family in distress please email me in strictest confidence at steve@earlnightingale.com.au and confirm that you are willing to be introduced to your team, again in strictest confidence.

You can also participate on Military Network LinkedIn discussion group.

Why ‘Dust Off”? – “A special word about the Dust Offs…Courage above and beyond the call of duty was sort of routine to them. It was a daily thing, part of the way they lived. That’s the great part and it meant so much to every last man who served there. Whether he ever got hurt or not, he knew Dust Off was there. It was a great thing for our people” – General Creighton Abrams, Chief of Staff, U.S. Army, former Commander, U.S. Forces Viet Nam…Learn more>>>

Why 4:1? – When four people carry the stretcher it’s easier and faster to get to the destination.

An IMPORTANT Message To All Members

What we are experiencing is change…profound change…
Change brings opportunity…Profound change brings profound opportunity.

How Do You Succeed In A Climate Of Profound Change?

“Firstly, accept that you already ARE successful…Success is a Military-Mindset. You have been tested; you have endured unimaginable, physical and mental challenges; you have broken through the pain barriers and successfully explored your outer limits. If you have seen active service you have also known fear and you have overcome it; you have looked death in the eyes and you have stared it down. You have been prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice for the sake of others…you are one of the world’s finest individuals. You are battle-hardened and you have what it takes to Drive It Through© into a successful life. With each new challenge, reach down into the depths, you know where to find it…you’ve have done it before and you’ll do it again. Stand tall, walk proud…Never doubt yourself, never quit…You are family”…Steve Jeffery.

How Are We Going To Meet The Challenge?

“Teamwork! Military Network is a return to the “Buddy” system, supporting a unique highly trained, competent group of people; people who share a similar background and experience, who learned to work as a team, trust each other with their lives; each acting as the eyes and ears of the other; knowing that each team member was giving his/her absolute best. That team is YOU and this is an opportunity to once again work with each other as a team, to support each other during this crisis and come out the other side stronger and even more determined to succeed in life. Only YOU, know the real power of the team; this is your unique competitive advantage and now is the time to use it!

Harness the full power of the team…Sign-up for our free weekly newsletter, start working together, support a veteran-owned business, share job or business opportunities with your fellow veterans and families and they will be shared in return”.
